5 Main types of reactions

• Synthesis- Love at first sight
• Decomposition- The big break-up
• Single Replacement- My best friends girlfriend
• Double Replacement- Revenge
• Combustion- The player

3
Synthesis- Love at first sight

I like your braces
I like your hat
Hey Sally
Can I get your number
Hey Harry
Basic equation AB AB
4
Synthesis- Love at first sight

• The compound produced is larger and more complex
  than the reactants
• Example CO2 6 H2O C6H12O6 6 O2

5
Decomposition- The Big Break-up
We are Through
I was washing my hair
Whatever
Where were you last night
But, baby I love you
I dont believe you
Im leaving

• Basic Equation AB AB

6
Decomposition- The Big Break-up
I am so over you

• The Breakdown of a larger compound
• Example 2 H2O 2 H2 O2

7
Single Replacement- My Best Friends Girlfriend
Hey, Baby. How you doing?
This Stinks!
Hey Mark, here comes your friend Pierre
Man, Marks Girl is pretty Hot!
Oh Pierre! Mark Im leaving you
Basic Eqn AX B BX A
8
Single Replacement- My Best Friends Girlfriend

• Free element must be the more reactive element
  for a reaction to occur ( Pierre is more suave
  then Mark)
• The further apart 2 elements are on the activity
  series, the more likely the higher one will
  replace the lower one in a compound.
• Example 2K 2HCl 2KCl H2

9
Double Replacement- Revenge
I have to get Pierre back. Hey Chloe do you want
to go out
I cant believe Chloe would do that
Ok
Pierre, Im sick of you

Double Replacement- Revenge

• Always involves the formation of a molecular
  compound such as water (Tears) and either a
  precipitate or a gas
• Ex 2 KI(aq) Pb(NO3)2(aq) PbI2(s) 2
  KNO3(aq)

11
Combustion- The player
That was a great date
Baby, I love you
Ashley youre my BFF
Hey Ladies
(3 weeks later)
Basic Eqn AB O AO BO
12
Combustion- The player
Honey, Why is Ashleys number on your phone?

• Produce oxide compounds and energy (very
  exothermic)
• Ex CH4 2O2 CO2 2H2O ENERGY
